NEW YORK, January 2O.-Money on call
easy at 3g5 per cent, closing at 3. Prime
dull but steady at is2A for sixty day bills
and 1861 for demand.
Bends-Government bonds were dull and
steady; State bonds were dull and steady.
Stocks-1here was a moderate degree Of
activity in the stock arket, although nearly
one-third of, the days business was trans
acted in the first hour. The dealings were
marked by considerable feverishness, espe
cially in the forenoon, Notwithstanding the
fact that the feeling was mildly confident.
Reading became the leading feature. Ru-
mors were heard in regard to the favorable
outcome of the reorganization and more am
icable relations with the PenRsy vania com.
pany. The other coal stocks, however, did
not share IN the strength displayed by Read
ing, and Jersey Central was especially. weak.
Richmond and West Point also shywed
considerable weakness. Hooking Val
Ley became and nJHt tn jersey Cen af
was the weakest stock on the list. There
was revival OF the rumor concerning an
over issue of bonds by former Board Of
Directors, and there was said to be move
ment on foot to compel the latter to reim-
burse the company. The former president
denied the story. Canada Southern showed
some weas ness early in the day, but the re-
mainder of the list was steady TO firm. The
opening was fairly steady, and changes from
last evenings final prices, which were about
equally divided between gains and losses,
we're for insignificant fractions only, except
Richmond aud West Point. The three coal
stocks and st. Paul were prominent in the
early DEALING, and the market ieye ish and
generally weak. A rally occurred late in the
first hour, and the improvement lasted until
the afternoon, though gains were for slight
fractions. There was decrease in activity,
and prices became weak, Jersey Central and
Hooking Valley being the conspicuous
features. There was fractional rally in the
afternoon, but the decline was soon re,
sumed. 1t was checked in the last hour and
the close was steady, though many stocks
were at the lowest Of the day. Sales, 1856 ,24S.
The majority OF the active list showed de-
clines this evening, although few stocks
chow material advances, New England being
up IL, Cameron Coal 1ss and Perry Coal Ia.
